Hi Trac...Hi Kissa, Thank you so much for coming by.<br />Hi Tracy, Awesome post! Yes, my father loved history and named me for Berengaria of Navarre. She was a woman very much ahead of her time who believed in caring for women and children and even giving women rights (a shocking thought in those days!)<br />BerengariaBerengaria Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09601518455869885518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051217796265309439.post-16800610472498908852012-09-12T06:57:38.963-07:002012-09-12T06:57:38.963-07:00Hi Berengaria, Queen of the Menages!
Thanks so mu...Hi Berengaria, Queen of the Menages!<br /><br />Thanks so much for letting me guest here today. <br /><br />I wonder, is everyone here aware that Berengaria (the first Berengaria) was Queen to Richard the Lionheart and that *this* Berengaria was literally named after that fabulously courageous queen?<br /><br />I'll let Berengaria tell you about the real Queen. She was quite something.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />TracyTracy Cooper-Poseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340094910453256003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051217796265309439.post-52413218317514819462012-09-12T06:55:01.641-07:002012-09-12T06:55:01.641-07:00Hi Kissa:
Thank you! It's not the *only* way...Hi Kissa:<br /><br />Thank you! It's not the *only* way I build characters, but the name is an important part of their character building. It really helps me get a grip on a character. It's not just a tag. I really don't understand writers who can blanket tag characters "hero1" throughout the book until later, when they figure something out, or just call all their heroines "Jill" until they have the name. I know my own name is such a part of me....<br /><br />Indie publishing...very long story. But I think I can sum it up by saying I'm a total control freak. And Indie Publishing gives me total control over everything -- the publishing schedule, the interior of the book, the cover, the content, and even the success and the sales. All of it. If the book fails, that's 100% my problem, too. :) I know that sounds freaky to some people, but it's incredibly liberating, and I wish I had turned to indie publishing about ten or twelve books before I had. But...you can't turn back the clock, alas!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />TracyTracy Cooper-Poseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15340094910453256003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9051217796265309439.post-33590379209439971182012-09-12T06:01:31.585-07:002012-09-12T06:01:31.585-07:00That is so interesting how you build your characte...That is so interesting how you build your characters that way.
